Visions

VISIONS is a new VITAL FORCE section suggested by Carmen Brocklehurst. Please write about any visions (about the growth, expansion, and spread of T’ai Chi Chih.) This is kind of on the order of what IBM does at the San Jose office – seemingly unconnected ideas begin to take shape as a real project as people talk and different parts of the puzzle begin to fall into place. Perhaps no one person has the whole answer but together we can gather more of the pieces. I know that sometimes this seems to lead to stealing because people jump in and take and use ideas that are not theirs and sometimes even mess them up. However, if we really look at this and if we truly believe that the universe is FOR us, then we see that what is ours, is ours, and no one can have it. That includes what seemed to just have been taken. Many times the thief ends up with nothing and the other person ends up with a better mouse trap.

Now I would like to seed the pot:

VISION:
It was as if I were looking at the world from outer space, and as I did several different places on the globe became clear and I could see a T’AI CHI CHIH CENTER there. Each center helped to connect the world and make it stronger. The Centers seemed to be not only where I was looking but also where I was. Many people were at each Center – much peace and love could be felt at each Center.

ACTION:
I have begun the paper work to form a non-profit organization named Chi Foundation. Its purpose is to act as a magnet for those who are interested in coming together to create T’ai Chi Chih Centers across the globe. These Centers will create a way for Justin, Steve and other T’ai Chi Chih teachers to be in residence in different parts of the world for indepth teaching and learning of T’ai Chi Chih and Seijaku. As Chi Foundation grows, people interested in T’ai Chi Chih will be able to come and live on the premises for short periods of time and study with very special teachers. This project is in its beginning stage and any suggestions are welcome.

Lots of Love, and share the Chi,
